The band that made sibling rivalry look like a full-time career. The Gallagher brothers could barely get through a soundcheck without hurling insults, but somehow, they convinced everyone that this was just ‘rock ‘n’ roll.’ Their lyrics make every song sound like a love letter to themselves, and if you don’t believe me, just look at the titles. Wonderwall? More like ‘Wonder-why-I’m-still-listening.’
And for a group that claims to be so revolutionary, their sound is basically ‘what if the Beatles but… louder and more nasal?’ Oasis made whining an art form and somehow convinced a generation it was ‘edgy’ to sound like you’re complaining into a tin can. They’re like that friend who plays one guitar riff and acts like they’ve invented music itself. And don’t even get started on their live shows—they’re either fantastic or a total trainwreck, depending on how much the brothers feel like hating each other that day.
But hey, credit to them—they mastered the art of fighting over who’s more important in the band, all while playing the same four chords on repeat. Oasis: proving that you don’t need fresh ideas if you’ve got enough ego to last a lifetime.
Someone had to say it!
